Section 15.0593

The governor may by executive order create in the
governor's office advisory task forces, councils and committees
to advise or assist on matters relating to the laws of this
state. A task force, council or committee so created shall have
no more than 15 members, and vacancies may be filled by the
governor. Members of a task force, council or committee shall
receive no per diem but may be paid expenses as authorized by
the commissioner's plan adopted according to section 43A.18,
subdivision 2. A task force, council or committee shall expire
two years after the date of order unless otherwise specified
consistent with section 4.035, subdivision 3. The task force,
council or committee shall be named beginning with the prefix
"Governor's Task Force on," "Governor's Council on" or
"Governor's Committee on." The governor shall not create a
board, commission, authority or other similar multimember agency
except as provided in this section. A multimember agency
previously created by executive order shall be renamed and shall
be consistent with the provisions of this section. Nothing in
this section shall apply, to the extent inconsistent with
statute or federal law, to any multimember agency specifically
authorized by statute or specifically authorized by federal law
as a condition precedent to the receipt of federal money.
